How to Customize Your Flip-Flops

Make the fabric strapsAnything is possible when it comes to fabric selection for the straps: silk charmeuse, leather, twill, dupioni.You can also use ribbons of various widths, twill tape, even cotton webbing. And feel free to embellish the straps.

1) Sew a fabric tube. Cut a 5- by 17-inch strip along the straight grain. Fold wrong sides together, and sew the long edge with a 1/2- inch seam allowance. Turn right side out. Cut a 1 1/2- by 10-inch bias strip for the loop between-the-toes. Sew into a tube and turn.

2) Make holes for the straps. From the underside sole, poke holes through the insole using an awl. Cut tiny slits through the insole, and brush with Fray Check. Fold the strap in half, and add the bias loop over the center, as shown. Pull tight until the loop pinches out the tie.

3) Knot and secure with glue. Thread the straps' raw ends into the toe hole. Try on the flip-flop and adjust for comfort; knot on the bottom. Thread the other two ends into the other holes and knot them. Trim the ends. Fill the cavities around the knots with craft cement. Let dry.

The lobster claw is normally a tiny significantly more traditional, and is also incredibly sturdy and effortless to use. The snap closure appears just like a bead, and may be the most famous selection for Pandora bracelets. The snap clasps are incredibly secure, and often mix in using the other beads about the bracelet. equally clasp varieties occur in possibly sterling silver or 14k gold.

The metallic pandora charm are sectioned off. little threaded spacers divide the bracelet into 3 sections. This keeps the beads kind sliding across the bracelet. in case your bracelet isn't filled with beads yet, the sections permit the beads which are about the bracelet to remain within their personal area and never get bunched up in 1 region about the bracelet. The charms and beads should be twisted more than the sections, making it possible for them to become arranged in any buy you like. The artificial leather bracelets tend not to occur with sections.
